There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes years to realize the multiple benefits of science; without adequate, sustained funding for research, the careers of many bright, young scientists may come to a screeching halt.
I have suggested that scientific progress requires a favorable environment.
There are cases when it takes 50 or 100 years for fundamental science to achieve results.
As you know, in most areas of science, there are long periods of beginning before we really make progress.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
Every scientist would like to be able to move through research faster, to spend less time and money acquiring material or disseminating it.
The progress of science is much more muddled than is depicted in most history books. This is especially true of theoretical physics, partly because history is written by the victorious.
Science moves fastest when there's plenty of debate and controversy.
I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.
One can not impede scientific progress.
